How to Make Banana Cake With Coconut Icing

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, mash bananas. Add mashed bananas, milk, and eggs to the batter. Mix until well combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the icing: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, sweetened shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and butter.
  9. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  10. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the coconut icing evenly over the top.
